Chapter 48 Five Taels of Silver

leaves in the bowl, he was surprised, "Tea leaves Where did you get such a good thing from"Now their village is like a closed-off place. Besides staple foods and vegetables they grow themselves, you...Zong Yulian's one sentence seemed to stir up a thousand waves in the Zong family.

Even Lian Fangjin was a little surprised. Today, her mother-in-law told her that after Yulian got married, she wouldn't go against her anymore.

She didn't take it seriously, always thinking that things were still too early.

No matter how much she disliked this girl, she never thought of marrying her off at fifteen.

And she didn't think Zong Yulian was marrying out of guilt to avoid her, there must be a lot more to this story.

Another person who had also been missing all night returned home at this time.

Zong Ping walked home with a light heart, carrying ten taels of silver

in his pocket. He hummed a little tune, a bottle of wine

in one hand and two packages of fragrant roasted chicken in the other, looking very happy indeed.

He was caught red-handed as soon as he entered the house.

Liu Shi still thought that her husband hadn't come back home all night because he had gone out to have an affair.

There are many widows in the village whose husbands have passed away. In order to survive, they would do almost anything.

At the beginning, all the old men in the village liked to frequent them.

She thought her husband went to do this too, and was so angry that she couldn't sleep all night.

The elderly couple didn't mind at all. They were always lenient with their son's demands. Even if Zong Pingkang brought another woman home, as long as she could work and give birth to children, they wouldn't say a word, but would even be very happy and praise their son for his ability.

As for the daughter-in-law's feelings, that was not within their consideration.

"Zong Pingkang! You bastard, where did you crawl out of last night"

"Your great-grandson cried all night because he was hungry, and you didn't even think about how to get some food for him at home. You actually had the nerve to go out and fool around!"

As soon as Liu arrived, she grabbed Zongpingkang's ears and wouldn't give him a chance to explain.

He grabbed and beat the person as soon as he came up.

Sohei walked back and forth two trips up the mountain path all night without sleeping, he was exhausted at this point.

If things had not gone so smoothly and he hadn't been in such a good mood, he was probably going to fall asleep halfway home.

This would cause Liu to be knocked over onto the ground. She didn't forget to protect the food and drinks in her hands, crying out in pain.

"Who went out to fool around, I was busy with important business."

"Crazy woman, let go of me."

"Don't break my glass!"

When Liǔ heard that he had even bought wine back, she was furious.

"We don't even have clean water to drink at home, and you still have the heart to buy wine"

Old Madam Wu was woken up early by the commotion. Seeing her son being beaten on the ground by his daughter-in-law, she hurriedly grabbed a broom and beat Liu Shi relentlessly.

"You little wretch, you dare to hit my son!"

"I'll kill you if you don't stop, you dare to hit your man like this."

"If you don't stop, I'll have Pingkang execute you, you madwoman!"

Every woman fears being abandoned, especially in today's difficult times. If she returns to her family home, she knows that she will be looked down upon by her brothers.

Is there even anything edible

Liu's anger subsided, and she could only retreat to the side. She also had to avoid Lady Wu's broom, repeatedly begging for forgiveness.

"Mother, your daughter-in-law knows she was wrong. Please don't hit her."

"I just can't stand it, our family is going through such a hard time, and he still goes out to cheat."

"Not a bit of thought for home."

Zongping Kang, under his mother's protection, stood up angrily and shouted, "Who said I went out to steal food!"

"Laozi said Laozi went out to do some real business."

He glared at Lady Liu angrily, thinking that once the drought was over, he would sooner or later divorce her. This crazy woman dared to hit him whenever she pleased.

Mrs. Wu, however, readily believed her son's words and hurried to ask.

"Boss, what did you do last night"

Zhongping smiled smugly, taking out five taels of silver from his bosom.t her mother meant.The sister-in-law ignores her brother-in-law, what can she do about it.She couldn't possibly change her sister-in-law's mind, and besides, their mother had said herself that it was...
